Delay's arrest is just the start of the fireworks. When Fitzpatrick announces the indictments in the Plamegate mess, expect the white house criminals to go into overdrive with character assasinations and smeer tactics, finger pointing and lies.

But if the action gets too hot, if they seem to be losing control of the situation, there are two ugly scenarios that they're left with. One tactic is to simply fire the special prosecuter. It's not hard to imagine Alberto Gonzales doing just that under orders from Cheney. A huge PR black eye but they would hunker down and take it.
A much more likely and terrible tactic is to reach for their old standby, state sponsored terror. Another 9/11. And this event would be so catastrophic that it would sweep everything off the table forever. I've known for some time that the psycho fuckwads in power will never let go of it and are prepared to take everything down with them if pressured. I only hope they don't pull such shit but if they do, I hope anybody reading this gets prepared for any eventuality.
